@@Rylee_G 😦 Tuh-Dae?!?!?! Oh that's right, the Ravening, lol, I'm still not done with Crown of Candy yet. I mean I know it's the prequel but still, you're meant to see the movie before you watch it's prequel, lol
The combination of Brennan using his storytelling/world building skills and unique characters to pull profoundly honest moments of character growth out of his PCs and Lou's commitment to the worst voice ever for the campaign that is just so fucking magical here
The whole interaction from 1:39 - 2:05 is just phenomenally funny. The first intwraction has the highly specific list, the dead air silence and the way Ally puts their face in their hand, with the "Thanks man" punchline at the end just being a perfect response. And then the following sequence, the face Brennan makes, the audible inhale, it's all fucking stellar. One of my favorite comedic D20 moments
Ally tryna hold it together throughout, and Lou's vacant stare at "what choice do you have", both gold. but I couldn't stop couldn't stop focusing on Zac breaking at "eaves-peeping", his soul really tried to leave his body in that moment.
@@micahnewby7964 yeah there were definitely some genuinely horrific and terrifying moments but also some of the moments I’ve ever laughed the hardest at in a dimension 20 show lmaoo
Ngl I was a little disappointed that they were just as jokey as every other campaign because I was hoping for more horror vibes, but I also didn't necessarily expect it to be any other way and I can't hold it against them
@@D055__ Yeah, that's kinda what I figured. Presumably everyone has different tastes when it comes to the balance between immersion and keeping it enjoyable. For me, the immersion-breaking aspect of always joking (to where it often feels like it's no longer the character speaking but the player) just stands out a lot more in a darker setting. I am curious to see where the tone will settle in The Ravening War, too.
"Here's what I say, and I mean this in a way to be like, yippee, like encouraging... what other choice do you have? When you're a little bug and you're like 'I'm gonna get squished!'... you can't live your life every day thinking you're gonna get squished"... that just fucking SENT me, but also... that's so real on such an existential level. 😂
1. "Kill me. Kill me. Step on my head" is the spiritual child of the at times _very_ problematic but very insane show "The Mighty Boosh" - specifically the Crack Fox ep 2. Ally's reactions are so, so relatable 💀
The new title is * wild * and so well-suited to the opening 😭😭 I can’t stop replaying the first five seconds… disregarding the insanity of the circumstances for a moment-is Brennan’s second “I’m dying” not the cutest thing you’ve ever heard?
YEEEES!! That and the second "Kill me", thank you! I'm stuck on the same section, LOL! Then I'll move on to "..'m NOT GONNA drink WATER!!" and I lose it all over again 😂😂😂
In a world where fairy tales are going a bit askew, Pinnochio (a d&d warlock) is consulting his spiritual guide, Cricket, about his very general situation. In this situation, Cricket is already ‘dead’ because Pinnochio killed him by accident (which is apparently what actually happens in some tellings), but is ‘fine’ due to being a spirit here. The mentioned Stepmother is a _very_ corrupted version of Cinderella’s Stepmother, who erased her own name and became an eldritch being (this was _before_ making a deal with Pinnochio to ‘protect’ his father, Gepetto, from things that would harm him. “Things” is including a witch that undid Pinnochio’s ‘real boy’ ending). Also, Cricket was… on an anti-water bend after consuming salt water a while ago.
Small creatures in children’s stories often have cartoonish voices. Brennan chose this voice for Cricket, likely as a compliment to Lou’s clear high pitch. They made a joke that maybe his voice would be clearer if he drank water, bc that’s what would help someone in a realistic setting. It just spiraled from there, as most of their bits do!

Where was the drinking water bit established? I watched it twice and couldn't find the first time the joke came up. The first time they referred back like it was a joke already made
It starts after cricky dies in the water after they get thrown across the continent into the ocean by Snow White. Cricky drowns and gains a fear of water
I forget which episode but they ask about his raspy voice and if he needs some water and he tells them he’s literally never had water and then goes on this bit about how water will kill you and he always advises kids not to drink water.
I don't remember what the exact caption is but i would give my firstborn for a compilation of (Lou laughs so hard he starts coughing)
the one where he starts sounding like a leaf blower starting up?
"Can I check on Cricket?"
"Sure." :)
....

IOnceAteAPinecone: "Worst voice ever"
Brennan Lee Mulligan: "The Pinnochio voice really doesn't get old, it's just joy"
This wasn't the horror season, it was the humour season.
The humour was just very dark.
Seriously this is such drunk girl energy, especially the supportive pep talk 😂
"I was eeve's peepin' earlier" lmao
Both characters having such gentle voices is sending me
That "...thanks, man." Is so perfectly delivered by Lou lol
Lou being "Oh you're backing off on that bit? I'll pull that bit out of you through the throat of that nice insectoid npc"
the delivery on "Step On My Head ." always kills me. just one single unresolved tone
I LOVE THE WAY BOTH OF THEM SAY THE WORD WATER ITS LIKE SUCH A ROUND SOUND
Emily just over there trying to breath normal but cant.
Pinocchio and Cricket were the best part of this campaign
ally trying and failing to hold in their laughter through this whooole section is SO funny i love them
"There's my cricket!" has real "That's my n-word" energy and I'm here for it lmao
(self-censoring even though I'm black because yt is a cesspool.)
Moments later: "Where the white women at??"
Eves-peeping is the best thing ever. I can't help but eves-peep everywhere I go.
Them having a deep conversation about growing up and taking responsibility while also cry-laughing is so good

This campaign was so goddamn bonkers in the best way.

The “horror” season
Except without the quote marks🤣

I hope we get a mug merch that says "Don't Drink Water"
I'm guessing you aren't aware that actually is limited-edition merch right now lol
@mogget IT IS??? Amazing, can't wait til my next paycheck
This whole campaign was an absolute fever dream 😂😂
3:32 Ally and Zach are trying SO hard to keep it together
And conversely Emily gives no fucks and is having a fantastic time 😂
Zac fully ascended out of his body in that moment.
@@black.crystal.ballll yea he has left this plane of existence, he is not there
you know... if you didnt known even a sliver of context of this show... this is entirely chaotic nonsense speak 😂😂
i LOVE watchinf ally trying as hard as they possibly can not to laugh and failing miserably

I can't unhear Steve-O. That shit is permanent
ally's power would be dangerous if wielded for evil
The truth in this terrifies me@@ikeekieeki
the beginning is an actual conversation between me and my cat
"(dramatic music cuts off as everyone laughs)"
1. "Kill me. Kill me. Step on my head" is the spiritual child of the at times _very_ problematic but very insane show "The Mighty Boosh" - specifically the Crack Fox ep
2. Ally's reactions are so, so relatable 💀
do you think that stuff is gonna happen?
🤨
cmon man
And then, every last one did.

@@Miss_Myth I couldn’t agree more 😭😭 that and “saand”
Thank you for this cricket not drinking water is one of my all time favorite d20 bits
2:56 you could replace Lou with a cardboard cutout here and I wouldn’t tell the difference
He really does act out being a true wooden boy
(pensive harp music)
(In a much deeper voice)
whEN YOU WISH UPON A STAAAAAAAAR
THE CAPTION LMFAO
"That's what I wanted to check in on." 😂
I only hear Steve-o now
Eves-peeping
Something about "puppet shoe" feels so silly and absurd.
Had four minutes left on my break at work so this was perfect
Aside from everything crickety-- Brennan has a nice singing voice!
might send this to a friend who knows nothing about d20
please
Can't unsee Cricket now in a thong and with a tattoo of his own face on his back 🤣

i have 0 context but did cricket have rabies or something???
lol no it was just that he sounds raspy bc he's a cricket, but then the bit became that he hadn't drank water in 100 years

Where was the drinking water bit established? I watched it twice and couldn't find the first time the joke came up. The first time they referred back like it was a joke already made
it was over several episodes
It's part of cricket's life lessons for kids: don't lie, go to school, and DON'T. Drink. Water! (Paraphrased lol)
